I started getting a ton more traffic to my site several months ago which has stayed consistent even tho I hadn't posted in months. I'm trying different plug-in to block AI crawlers but they're still running up my bandwidth
@jametc.bsky.socialSomething AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk:
How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.
